New 1990 3608 Owner

Post by Jigjag »

Hello everyone, I'm a proud owner of a 1990 3608 Motor Yacht. My previous vessel was a 1995 310 Silverton Express Cruiser (sorry for cursing!). I've been learning a lot about this boat (Bring Out Another Thousand). I would like to learn a lot more! I've got a small list to do before next boating season or I won't be insured. I've already removed the residential 120v common neutral/ground fridge and replaced it with a dual voltage boat fridge, replaced 50% of my 1999 fuel lines, Still more to do. The vessel came with crusaders, One I found out it was a Gen 5 because it had an electric fuel pump and no mount for mechanical (need to wire in properly and install a fuel water separator upstream). The list goes on....but I do enjoy some of the projects and learning about them.

Welcome aboard. Half the fun is fixing stuff, the way you want it. What year is the Crusader that has an electric fuel pump? Didn't think any of the 90's had electric fuel pumps. Your Silverton probably had outdrives. The inboards will handle a lot different,...smoother. Good luck! 8-) er

Welcome, I also upgraded from an express cruiser, never going back. Must be an age thing I guess, prefer the slower ride and mostly the massive space and luxury of a fly bridge. :captain2:
